MPN 36760050072
SKU 33RSF-72
Chain Series RAPID Super Full Skip (RSF)
Drive Links 72
Cut Pattern Full Skip

Technical Features

  • Full Skip cutter pattern: An extra drive link and tie straps between each cutter increase the spacing between cutters, enabling better chip discharge and higher chain speed during operation.
  • Razor-edged, square-cornered cutter geometry: This profile minimizes chain friction against the wood, producing an exceptionally smooth and clean cut — particularly effective in hard or frozen wood conditions.
  • Based on RAPID Super (RS) architecture: The RSF chain inherits the proven RS cutter design while the skip pattern further accelerates cutting performance, typically exceeding the cutting speed of standard RM-pattern chains.
  • Reduced cutter count: Fewer cutters per loop directly reduce total sharpening time per maintenance cycle, lowering downtime in demanding production environments.
  • High plunge-cutting efficiency: The cutter geometry and skip pattern contribute to effective plunge-cutting, expanding the range of compatible cutting techniques.
  • 72 drive links: Configured for compatibility with longer guide bars suited to large-diameter timber processing.

Applications

  • Large-diameter log processing: The full skip pattern and 72-link length are especially well suited for long guide bars engaged in high-volume timber work.
  • Hard and frozen wood cutting: The square-cornered, razor-edged cutter shape maintains cutting efficiency in dense or frozen material where chain friction is a limiting factor.
  • Short bar use: While optimized for longer bars, the RSF chain is also compatible with shorter guide bar configurations where speed is prioritized.
  • Production and professional felling: The combination of elevated chain speed, reduced sharpening frequency, and smooth chip discharge supports high-throughput professional chainsaw use.

Note: RSF chain requires careful maintenance and precise sharpening practices to sustain peak performance. The skip-pattern design is sensitive to cutter dulling; adherence to STIHL's recommended sharpening specifications is essential for continued cutting efficiency.
